Great fun at the Big Splash!

How is the Water Works used today?

Poudre Landmarks Foundation and the Friends of the Water Works administers the ongoing preservation work at the water works property. They host educational open houses in the summer, group tours, and the annual Big Splash to celebrate the original opening of the Water Works. They hope to create an interpretive center for water development and use in the Fort Collins area.
